Davao City – On April 12, 2024, JCI Davao proudly celebrated a major milestone in its environmental and livelihood advocacy with the Year 5 Implementation & Culmination Program of Grab Crab, held at the Tambongon Fisherfolks Association (TAMFIAS) in Barangay Lasang.
Led by Chairman Aljon Pasuhil, Vice Chairman Chaim Alonsabe, and Project President AJ Castro, along with past project leaders and JCI Davao members, the event highlighted five impactful years of community-based crab farming—a project that has grown into a symbol of sustainability and youth-led innovation in Mindanao.
Youth Leadership Fueling Sustainable Livelihoods
Grab Crab continues to exemplify how youth leadership can drive long-term change in vulnerable coastal communities. Through the collaborative efforts of JCI Davao and TAMFIAS, the project has empowered fisherfolk by introducing eco-friendly aquaculture practices that ensure both economic and environmental sustainability.
“We started with a vision to uplift lives through responsible resource management,” shared one of the project’s past chairmen. “Five years later, we are seeing tangible results—families with stable income and a community united by purpose.”
A Legacy of Resilience and Innovation
Beyond the harvest, Grab Crab has cultivated knowledge, skills, and leadership among both the youth and the local fisherfolk. It serves as a model for grassroots development, merging traditional livelihood with adaptive strategies that embrace technology and sustainability.
